‘Get Grok Gone’: Advocacy groups demand Apple and Google block X from app stores
Advocacy groups are demanding Apple and Google remove X and its AI tool Grok from their app stores due to the proliferation of nonconsensual deepfakes.Summary
A coalition of 28 advocacy groups, including UltraViolet and the National Organization for Women, sent open letters to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai demanding they remove X and xAI's Grok from their respective app stores. The groups argue that X is flooded with nonconsensual sexual deepfakes (NCII), including potential child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which violates both companies' policies. They specifically target Grok, stating it is being used to create mass amounts of NCII. The advocates criticize X's move to restrict image generation to paid subscribers as merely monetizing abuse and accuse Apple and Google of profiting from this harmful content. This action is part of a broader campaign called "Get Grok Gone."
